The Production Of BMW’s Combustion Engines In The Munich Plant In Germany Will Be Discontinued. The Brand Has Chosen To Shift Production To Focus On Electric Vehicles.

The renowned automobile manufacturer BMW, based in Germany, has announced that the Munich plant will now exclusively focus on the production of powertrains for electric vehicles, leaving behind combustion engines with 4, 6, or 8 cylinders.

Although an official date for the end of combustion-powered car production has not yet been determined, this change marks a significant step toward decarbonizing BMW’s fleet. Initiatives such as the production of the electric coupe i4 in 2020 and the planned launch of future models from the Neue Klasse family between 2025 and 2027 demonstrate the brand’s commitment to electrification.

While Munich will cease manufacturing combustion engines, BMW’s history with 4-cylinder, V6, or V8 powertrains will continue, now in other plants. The more powerful engines, with 6 and 8 cylinders, will be produced at the United Kingdom factory in Hams Hall, while the 4-cylinder engines will be manufactured in Austria.
